Whisky - the EU Network GR Hydrodynamics code

Whisky is a code to evolve the equations of hydrodynamics on curved space. It is being written by and for members of the EU Network on Sources of Gravitational Radiation and is based on the Cactus Computational Toolkit . A version of Whisky should be released into the public domain soon. Whisky has grown from earlier codes such as GR3D and GRAstro_Hydro, but has been rewritten to take advantage of some of the latest research performed here in the EU. The motivation behind Whisky is to compute gravitational radiation waveforms for systems that involve hydrodynamics. Examples would include the merger of a binary system containing a neutron star, which are expected to be reasonably common in the universe and expected to produce substantial amounts of radiation. Other possible sources are given in the projects list.

This page describes the development of the Whisky code. Here you can see what's working or what's new. If you want to use it, jump to the download page. If you run into problems check the FAQ. If there's a new feature you want, check our to do list and bug one of the authors.

This is the first attempt of a world map which shows in green the location of Whisky developers and in white locations of Whisky users. Note: This map is not (yet) complete! Please make suggestions about additions or corrections to the whisky-developers mailing list. This map was created using xplanet from this list of developers/users.
